Red Dead Redemption 2 has 4K texture pack on Xbox One X
- Thread starter RedbullCola
- Start date
Why would R* say this then in their official information.
Again: installation space has nothing to do with the size of the file. You need of 107GB to install the game and doesn't means the file size will be the same.
I accept that theory - apart from the fact that the PS4 installation space is 99GB plus 50GB for the installation process.
Why wouldn't they quote it in the same way from Xbox?
I agree. In fact we should be able preload any unbought game and unlock its license either through a game disc or digital purchase.
I think Ps4 requires 50GB free when installing, but the final occupied size is the same 99GB whether you download it or install from disc
The file size of the ps4 is not 99GB. I heard in the other thread it's 89-92 in some countries and 98 just in europe if I'm not wrong. By the way ps4 has a particular method of installation that why specified that. Honestly I don't see any other explanation. Probably the xbox requires an extra space for the decompression of file? Just my guess.
But that 98 is closer to the 99Gb required - and accounts I assume for save files.
The 88-107 is a bigger discrepancy - is there still a patch to come from Xbox?
The complete file size after it downloaded was 98.15gb on ps4 in Europe
Again R never said the file size is 107GB in their site. I don't know how to explain you better. ..and said that why even the base xbox one should required the same space of the installation of Xbone one X? It's a 4k texture pack. They should have mentioned 107GB it's only required for the xbox one X, no?
Hilarious in that people like you come off defensive. Look at how you pull an excuse that the X is more powerful,like duh,why are you explaining? We already knew this but for some reason you're agitated because of a possible 4K texture pack.
Like I said,hilarious. And its great for gaming when the more more powerful console is used to its fullest.
I'm not talking about the X or texture packs - I'm merely questioning the discrepancy in sizes R* quote. You say its because installation space is not the same as file size. Which is reasonable - but they quote the installation space sepearely for PS4 yet not for Xbox. And the discrepancy between the two seems somewhat unexplained. I'm merely wondering if there is a further day 1 patch to hit Xbox still going through certification - or not?
:/ What exactly is hilarious if the Xbone will have a 4k texture? If not just to troll who has the weaker console? You should choice better your words that's just what I said. And what exactly is defensive about to say the X is more powerful with a reason and people shouldn't troll about it? It's just a common logic and part of the discussion.

Well, you can download the texture pack even from a regular xbone/S. MS allows this so you can preload the X version before replacing the console, or for people with access to multiple consoles to take their installs to all of them without issues
I don't exclude anything but again the xbox one base shouldn't required 107GB for installation if it's the size of the file with the 4k texture. Would be strange. The R site would have specified if it was just for the X sku.
Because both consoles install games differently. PS4 requires an extra 50GB during the install process (likely because it's a multi disc game, I would guess it copies the content of the first disc, than creates a new 100GB file that merges the first and second disc and then erase the first disc data), but the final installed size is not different.
The final size IIRC is about 10gb bigger on xbone
I think he knows that. He's asking why the final install size for PS4 is 98GB, while the final install size for X1 will seemingly be 107GB?
I'm asking whether the 88GB I have downloaded for my X is now complete or whether the size will grow with a further patch? Merely because I want to understand what I have left to download if anything?
As has been true since the start of this thread:
No.
Why the thread title still is what it is, is beyond me.
You haven't left anything behind. But of course more patches in the future which will change the size of the file, are not exclude.
Once and for all :
"Applied: Xbox-Scorpio"
"Available: Xbox-Scorpio"
Those mean that the game has a dedicated assets pack for the X, it does not tell if it's textures or pre-rendered videos.
"Applied" means it's installed (forced on X, optional on S but will only be used on X).

Getting it for PS4 Pro since I don't have an X, just a regular old XBONE, but glad for the X1X dudes on here. That console is a beast and its good to see the benefits get pushed to its fullest on marquee games like this.
Twenty one pages just talking about a high texture patch for the X wow and people say that the Xbox community here is small :P
The Xbox X community seems to be growing healthily on the daily!
Everytime this thread gets bumped I hope its a confirmation.
They're just more vocal I think but I would like to see more games take advantage of the X's power, they could easily do more than increased resolutions.
In Game and Apps, manage the game (press View/Back), highlight the main game (not the preorder DLCs), then hold LB + RB and press View (Back), you'll get the debug popup.
But again, shouldn't the downloaded game be larger than 88GB and definitely at least larger than the PS4 size? A assets pack will require space but it sure doesn't seem like it.
Consoles can have different compression ratio if devs use platform specific formats (mostly for textures, audio and videos).
So depending on what the devs use, the size can be different and the quality be the exact same (taking resolution appart).
Also I think the Xbox One has dedicated hardware made to decompress data without using the CPU or something like that.
Isn't it more likely that the PS4 and X1 use different data compression schemes for installation packages?
Hmmm I see. So it's possible other multiplatform games are like this too? Was it the case for GTA V?
You're risking putting more load in your servers on the "chance" that someone will buy the game. When that load could actually be used by customers who have actually bought the game. Even if there's some kind of "pre-load key" for physical releases, there would be a whole other layer of authentication (which shouldn't be difficult tbh, but it's still there). And there's the open risk of someone returning the game.
I do think it's a great idea for the consumer, though. I just don't see it as a smart technical decision.
Ubisoft seems to be one of the publishers that put some effort in their X enhanced games.
The preload on Xbox One X is 88 gigs and an additional 20 gigs of reserved space on your internal drive. The extra space on the PS4 is likely the same thing only it's baked into the games filesize directly.
I actually couldn't even begin downloading the game to my external drive till i freed up some room on my internal drive.
Anyone else here thinking about or have bought both versions. I have the Pro and the X. I can't be the only one. I historically double and even triple dip on games I like....why not do it launch day!?
Hmmm..
Have you had any time with the X version?
Edit - Don't get yourself in trouble though if you cant say anything ; )
Why must you tease us! Oh wait...embargo that's why. Can't wait for your videos on this, I already preorderd the X version but still. I am curious
Wait, games can reserve space on multiple hard drives on Xbox?
